  • After nearly 60 years of neglect, the the Wood Island Life Saving Station in Kittery Pt. Maine was threatened by demolition

  • A group of citizens encouraged Kittery to seek partners to help prevent the loss of this rare building

  • Phase I included removing hazardous materials (asbestos, bird guano, lead paint) and repair the internal structure as well as much of the exterior including an all new roof. 

  • The building was  sealed up and wrapped in Tyvek paper waiting for windows / doors and exterior shingles until the spring of 2017. 

  • By the fall of 2017 the exterior of the historic station (windows, doors, shingles, trim) was completed.
